How much sleep are you getting at night?

I think the calories for exercise on MFP are way too overestimated. If I ran (not walked) for 60 minutes I would really only burn about 350 cals. If I half ran/half jogged for 60 I would probably only burn about 250....and I am 200 lbs.

I would suggest upping your calorie intake from 1200 to 1300 and then eating half of your exercise calories back. If your exercise caloires burned are correct then I think you aren't eating enough so give it a try because you may be at a plateau.

Reduce sodium and bad fat. Try to get your sugar mostly from fruit and not processed sweets or baked goods. If you eat bread, go for the good stuff that's full of whole grains and not processed grains. Good fats from nuts, avocados, etc. Stay within your % of carb-fat-protein.

Calories are a HUGE part of the story, and doing the above not only will make you feel better and give you better energy, it will also help you avoid water retention that masks weight loss, which is common when you're working your muscles a lot and during that time of the month.

Honestly, if you go 4 weeks without losing so much as half a pound, you're probably overestimating your burn or underestimating your intake. Metabolisms can be faster or slower, but you're never going to have the metabolism of a dachschund. Documented "metabolism damage" is from very, very overweight people or people who have suffered anorexia for many years having trouble adjusting their calories upward without gaining more than expected. It doesn't really apply to yo-yo dieters who eat 900 calories for two weeks, burn out, and start eating 2500 and shout that they've hurt their metabolism because now they're gaining weight.

Changing up what you're doing is a good tip, as is eating a healthy amount to lose weight. Go to fitnessfrog.com and find your little-to-no exercise TDEE. Subtract 500. Eat back exercise calories (if you can be confident you won't overestimate them). This is a pound a week loss. Your body weight fluctuates based on current water carriage and how long it's been since you had a bowel movement, among other things. Sodium, period, alcohol, processed foods, all of this can cause you to retain. Water retention can look upwards of 2-3 pounds on the scale. So, if you weigh in one week and you're 150 pounds, you follow the plan, you still might not get on the scale a week later and see 149. You might see 148, 151, 153, or 150 again. A pound is hard to see in scale terms.

As the fish say, just keep swimming.

You're working out a whole lot and not eating your calorie goal. I think you need to eat more calories. I may be wrong, but yesterday, you only managed to net about 700 calories. Maybe you should try adding in some peanut or almond butt

I LOVE almond butt!!!

What did MFP set your calories at to lose? I would go with that and eat back no more than half of what you are eating back now. My guess is that 1700 and 1800 calorie days are maintenance days for you. If they set your limit at 1200, 1500 may be a good exercise day limit. OR, change your activity settings (not to the highest one though) and eat that number, don't eat back exercise calories.

You could always be gaining muscle, muscle weighs more than fat. Maybe try to take measurements instead of weighing yourself.

This has been suggested a couple of times and there are reasons why this could not possibly be the case:

She is a woman without testosterone.
She is eating in a deficit (theoretically)
She is doing all cardio and no resistance training.

To gain muscle she would have to:

Eat in a surplus with lot's of protein.
Do lot's of resistance training

And even then it would be hard with the lack of testosterone but it possible with focus and dedication to gain maybe 1 1/2 to 2 lbs per month. In 2 weeks?? Ain't happening.

OP, I think you've got your answers. Your HRM is not wildly accurate to begin with. It needs to be reset based on your new data. Then I would take 30% to 40% off whatever it tells you as that is likely the margin of error. Also, studies indicate the most of us underestimate our intake unintentionally. Those factors could add up to little to no dietary deficit.

Yea I get tons of Walmart DVDs
